STRIKES AND Rad POLICY.

The business Of the country Is again
subjected TO serious disturbance by a
strike Of very formidable dimensions.
This kind OF disturbance has occurred
several times OF late years, but has not,
hitherto, aroused the serious attention
it requires. A strike occurs; in some
way or other it is quieted down and
things go on as usual another breaks
out and il is dealt with in the came
way, and so matters 20 on. But when
the strike is over no efficient or per.
manent settlement is made; every
thing rsmsius loose, the future is uu-
provided for, and consequently new
strikes break out, and, as we stand to.
day, the prospect gives no hope OF any
dimin ution OF labor troubles in the fut-
ure. The fact is that each strike
has been regarded in It's individuality,
but there is failure TO regard them in
the aggregate, to catch sight OF the
sort Of continuative conference there is
about them. They have been treated
as 80 many pools OF water occasionally
interTupting the travellers route, but
they are sssuming the appearance OF a
formidable river, gathering the more
force and speed the further it flows.
The strikers, when they fail, lose no
heart. They take warning by the mis-
takes they have made; they construct
their policy anew to meet and over
come the opposing policy that has
bsfh d them, when the next
struggle comes. At the same
time the strikers perfect their organi-
cation and Ito methods OF action, and
increase its numbers, The periods
between strikes are thus made inter
walls Of preparation for new, more
vigorous and more extended strikes.
The ct likes arc becoming our Ireland,
where for generations past the govern
ment has been putting down contin-
ua.ly occurring outbreaks, but having
never etiecteda fundamental mode OF
settlement, 1t finds itself today at an

held by the community in which he
has lived for thirty years. A friend

EMPLOYERS AND STRIKERS.

In dealing with striking workmen,
employers quite frequently betray
great want OF skill, and the absence OF
well iouBded system. Commonly they
manifest a lofty pretentiousness in
their way Of greeting their opponents

cility. They sell their wares person
ally by agents in distant towns, or by
travelling clerks, as they please. The
strikers demand the same privilege in
selling their labor, and when they think
their intMests demand II, offer to treat
for the sale OF their labor through
agents they have appointed, their
right 70 do which 10 the same as the
employers. But when this ia done
the employer, as we find told in the
daily kilograms, assumes an airsoi Of
Tended dignity as absurd and unwar-
ranted as II Is impolitic, and declares
that he will net buy the labor he re-
ouires in the way the laborer de-
stree, but In the manner he
himself chooses and dictates. He
does not see that when faced by an
army he Is refusing TO treat with any
but the struggling skirmishers, If
strikes are to be diminished it is with
the army, not the stragVlers, he mnst
agree for a cessation OF hostilities and
the establishment OF satisfactory
peace that Is not mere suspension of
arms. The manufacturers in some CT
the Eoglish towns have learned this
mode Of conducting labor disputes,
and our employers, however unwill-
Ing, will have to do the same thing.
As things stand they are in the posi-
ton Of the Irish landlords; they as
sumo high superiority too COM
monty, they have nobody's sympathy,
they are continually In hot water, and
in the end, putting aside all arrogance
and dictation, they must come to
terms with the organizations OF the
workingmen, counseling with them on
equal terms, man with man, not lord
